What is Uber?
Uber is a taxi-booking application that is proving to be an incredibly popular way for the people of the UK to travel; making use of modern technology when arranging transport. ‘By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, we make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers’ states the revolutionary firm. With pre-booked taxis being a more structured way to run a taxi business insurance prices can actually work out cheaper than for cars used for traditional hailing purposes.Uber and Safety
